It is Saturday evening and all is well. The hurricane has drifted a little bit east and was downgraded to category 1 -- both are blessings! There has been quite a bit of damage on the coastline - some building damage - but mostly flooding, high winds, power outages and downed trees and limbs and in the inland areas like Richmond there are lots of people without power and high winds and rain - limbs and trees down but I think everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that our worst fears were not realized. We are feeling like the worst is over for our mission, although the stormy weather will probably continue through the night. We are still praying for our friends north of us in the DC, Boston and New York areas.
We will send one last E-mail tomorrow. I'm sorry we cannot respond to every individual inquiry but just know that all the missionaries have been staying in today and having an extended preparation and study day. Several of the Stakes have cancelled church tomorrow in favor of service and clean-up. I'm sure that many of your missionaries will be involved with clean-up and other service efforts. I think they are all excited for that opportunity! They are so great!
We will be in touch tomorrow.
In gratitude for our blessings,
Sister Perry
